Belated Easter eggs

I always feel incredibly privileged when I see bird eggs in the wild. It doesn't happen very often but when it does it's special. These 2 gorgeous specimens were laid by a Pied Oyster Catcher on the south coast of NSW. As you can see, not much of a nest, just a small hollow in the sand. They are endangered in NSW so tread carefully.
